Solution

The correct option is C Ammonifying bacteria
Assimilation step of nitrogen cycle produces large quantities of organic nitrogen, including proteins, amino acids, and nucleic acids. Ammonification is the conversion of organic nitrogen into ammonia, which can be done by ammonifying bacteria. The ammonia produced by this process is excreted into the environment and is then available for either nitrification or assimilation.
